FHO+: Continuity of care payment adjustment calculator

The calculator below is designed to help you understand whether your quarterly continuity of care measure will affect your future capitation payments.

Recall:

1. Related measurement quarters are three quarters apart. On the calculator below, they are indicated by the coloured bands: blue, grey, and white.
2. If both related measurement quarters are below 75 per cent, an adjustment will be applied to a future capitation payment
3. The adjustment is applied two quarters after the second related measurement quarter
4. The value of the adjustment is 15 per cent of the first related measurement quarter's total base capitation value
